Former U.S. women’s Soccer star Megan Rapinoe is taking aim at Christians for expressing outrage at one of her comments about God.

During an interview on the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast, Rapinoe discussed an injured she suffered during the National Women’s Soccer League Championship in 2023.

“It is sad,” Rapinoe said, adding, “I wish that didn’t happen.” 

She went on:

“I’m just thinking about my teammates coming over and — of course, it’s sad, but it’s also like — I don’t know, it’s kind of just like life. We want these perfect stories, and I’m like a controversial figure and having people low-key celebrate it. But then also be so disingenuous about it that that part is kinda funny, too.”

Rapinoe also suggested people who laughed at her injury “are in a special place in hell.”

“Somebody needs to check on the Christians. They’re not OK,” she quipped. They also missed the whole joke, but OK.”

She continued, “Don’t act like A: you’re surprised by me making this joke about what happened or finding a dig. Who’s it at? God, myself, religion, the world? I don’t know.”

“It’s just funny,” Rapinoe claimed.

Speaking about her injury at the time in November, Rapinoe said, “I’m not a religious person or anything and if there was a God, like, this is proof that there isn’t.”

“This is f***ed up. It’s just f***ed up. Six minutes in and I eat my Achilles,” she added.
